Table 1 Estimated phenotypic and genetic correlations among morphometric traits and their heritability. Heritabilities (in bold) are on the diagonal, above the diagonal are the genetic correlations and below the diagonal are the phenotypic correlations

From: A multi-breed GWAS for morphometric traits in four Beninese indigenous cattle breeds reveals loci associated with conformation, carcass and adaptive traits
